Efisa 4
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Kawk ih kami ah na oh o baktih toengah, kawk ih kami hoi kamcuk ah kho na sak o hanah, Angraeng pongah thongkrah kami, Kai mah kang pacae o,
1I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2hmuen boih ah, minawk tlim ah khosakhaih, poeknaemhaih hoi palungsawkhaih to tawn oh loe, maeto hoi maeto amlunghaih hoiah khosah oh;
2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3Muithla ah poekhaih maeto amhong thai hanah tha pathok oh.
3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4Oephaih maeto tawnh hanah nangcae to kawk baktih toengah, takpum maeto hoi Muithla maeto ni oh;
4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5Angraeng maeto, tanghaih maeto, tuinuemhaih maeto,
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6kaminawk boih ih Ampa, Sithaw maeto khue ni oh, anih loe aicae boih ranui ah oh, kami boih khaeah oh moe, nangcae boih thungah oh.
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7Toe Kri ih tangqum paekhaih baktih toengah, tahmenhaih loe aicae boih khaeah paek boeh.
7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8To pongah ni Anih ranui bangah caeh tahang naah, misong ah kaom kaminawk to a zaeh moe, kaminawk khaeah tangqumnawk to paek, tiah a thuih.
8Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9(Anih caeh tahang, tiah thuih naah, anih loe long thung ih kahnaem koek ahmuen ah anghum tathuk hmaloe, tiah doeh thuih koehhaih ih na ai maw?
9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10Anghum tathuk kami loe, hmuen boih koepsak hanah, van boih ranui koekah daw tahang kami to thuih koehhaih ih ni.)
10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11Anih mah thoemto kaminawk to patoeh ih kami, thoemto kaminawk to tahmaa, thoemto kaminawk to tamthanglok taphong kami, thoemto kaminawk to kricaa zaehoikung hoi patukkung ah paek:
11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12kaciim kaminawk toksak akoep moe, Kri takpum a qoeng o sak thai hanah,
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13aicae boih tanghaih hoi Sithaw Capa panoekhaih bangah maeto ah amhong moe, Kri akoephaih tawn kami maeto ah a pha o ai karoek to om tih;
13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14aicae loe aling thaih kaminawk mah, aling thai hanah patuk ih loknawk pongah, takhi mah hmuh naah ahnuk ahmaa kangthui nawktanawk baktiah a oh o han om ai,
14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15toe tih boih ah lu ah kaom, Kri hoi kangvan ah a qoeng o thai hanah, amlunghaih hoiah loktang lok thui kami ah a oh o han oh boeh:
15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16Anih khae hoiah ni takpum boih nawnto amcong moe, kamtomh ahuhnawk boih doeh thacaksak, takpum ah kaom tanghangnawk boih mah angmacae ih tok a sak o boih baktih toengah, takpum to amlunghaih bangah a qoeng o sak tahang.
16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17To pongah Angraeng rang hoiah hae tiah lok ka thuih, vaihi hoi kamtong tiah doeh angcoeng ai, Gentelnawk caehhaih baktiah caeh o hma lai ah,
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18nihcae panoekhaih loe khoving baktiah tahmuep moe, panoekhaih tawn o ai, palung mik a maeng o pongah, Sithaw hinghaih hoiah amkhraeng o ving boeh:
18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19nihcae loe azathaih tawn o ai, taksa koehhaih bangah thacak o parai moe, long taksa koeh hmoekhaih palung tawnh o pongah, kaciim ai hmuennawk boih to a sak o.
19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20To baktih hmuen to Kri khae hoiah nam tuk o ai;
20But ye have not so learned Christ;
21Anih kawng to na thaih o boeh, loktang loe Jesu ah ni oh, tiah anih mah ang patuk o boeh:
21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22canghnii ih aling koehhaih palungthin hoiah kamro kangquem hinghaih to angkhring oh loe,
22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23Muithla ah poekhaih palungthin to angtha o sak ah;
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24toenghaih hoi loktang ciimcaihaih bangah, Sithaw ah sak ih kami kangtha to angkhuk oh.
24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25To pongah lok amlaihaih to takhoe oh, aicae loe takpum maeto hoi kaom tanghang ah a oh o pongah, kami boih mah a imtaeng kami khaeah loktang lok to thuih han oh.
25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26Palung na phui o, toe zaehaih sah o hmah: palung na phuihaih loe niduem hmah nasoe.
26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27Setan hanah ahmuen pahoe pae o hmah.
27Neither give place to the devil.
28Paqu kami loe paqu hma lai nasoe: toksah nasoe loe, amtang kaminawk abom hanah, kahoih hmuen to a ban hoiah sah nasoe.
28Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29Na pakha thung hoiah loksae tacawt hmah nasoe, tahngai kaminawk atho oh thai hanah, atho kaom lok to patoh oh.
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30Sithaw ih Kacai Muithla to palungsae o sak hmah, Anih hoiah ni akranghaih ni karoek to hanah catui ang daeng o.
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31Hnukmahaih, poek amthuenghaih, palungphuihaih, hraw-anghaih, loksethaih hoi uthaihnawk boih to nangmacae khae hoiah takhoe o ving ah:
31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32maeto hoi maeto nuiah tahmenhaih hoi amlunghaih to tawn oh, Kri ah Sithaw mah ang tahmen o baktih toengah, nangcae doeh maeto hoi maeto tahmenhaih tawn oh.
32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
